Also: you can not start/stop/restart tor.service separately without leaving all other tor instances untouched.
tor.service is *not* the default service. tor.service is the collection of all service instances.
Gosh, you are right there is tor@default.service, so you are actually already doing what is being done in RPMs and there is no need to move away /etc/tor/torrc at all :) (why didn't you mention that ;).
I said moving it away is *one* option.
The generator will then not cause tor.service to start the default instance, so after a daemon-reload, systemd should not even attempt to start the default instance.
